Hi,

I've been to Mongolia just this March and it was absolutely fascinating although I had only spent 6 days there enroute from my Trans-Mongolian journey from Beijing to Moscow.

There is nothing much in the capital Ulanbataar (UB) but its got its charms...you cant seem to identify to any other place.

It was really snowy and cold when I was there but always sunny blue skies. I've been told that a trip to the Gobi desert is a must however, I've not been there myself.

I've been to Terelj National Park which is about 1.5 hours away from UB but the scenery was breathtaking! Outside UB, it can be very rugged and spartan (think no toilets, no electricity, etc).

I'd be back to Mongolia in the near future for sure!
